Rendon being on the IL and Stassi having his family emergency.  

At this point I won't shed a tear if Rendon never plays for us again, and Stassi can't hit so we're not really missing anything there.

Thats irrelevant.   I was speaking the 10th inning.  That is why i said "they got screwed in last inning".

It’s irrelevant that they only scored twice in nine innings?  There would have been no loss in the 10th if they weren’t hacking at every pitch.

Winning a series here and there doesn't equate to bitch status. 

Part of the topic was who have what series have we won.

 

We havent had a "bitch" to beat up since 2014

Learn to read!  I said they got screwed in the 10th inning dumb ass!  The topic was on the 10th inning.  Anything before was irrelevant to topic i made!

Careful. He’s going to ask your leadership background and then share his with you.

I’m sorry you weren’t very successful in life.  Good thing you have this board to be take out your hate 24/7.

You keep believing that. 

[Stradling]

I’m successful enough to see through your bullshit, which really doesn’t say much.

Groupthink.  The Arte is bad narrative is popular around here.  I’m inclined to say he’s a typical owner.  In fact he spends pretty generously.
 

Can you quantify why he’s “bad” without resorting to rumors and speculation?  Saying things like he interferes too much is not measurable or verifiable.

i'm going to let the groupthink thing slide because i don't even know who you are. if you want to ask me my opinion about something, don't start it off by discounting my opinion as not my own.

arte spends money on the major league roster. that's a general fact, but he'll spend it all on one shiny object and then refuse to spend the necessary total for the rest of the roster. he's both a big spender and a cheap skate on the mlb roster. also, while he invests in the major league roster the angels have operated at a deficit at every other level of scouting, analytics, etc. etc.

he and carpino don't know how to run an organization of this size in sport. i believe i remember that all of the angels top brass have no history in baseball. it just goes on and on, and at some point the proof is in the pudding. it's just one error compounding on another on and on. he sucks.

Every business is results based so not sure your point there.  I have good business instincts and I’m telling you, Arte selling will fix nothing, in fact it might get worse.  But many people here act like a bunch of emotionally driven teenage girls so no one wants to hear the truth of what world fix this franchise.  They just parrot each other “Arte is bad sqwaukkkkk”

this is idiotic, but you have good business instincts so i'm going to just agree with you since you're the only one that has his own original thoughts and we're just a bunch of parrots.

This is a discussion board, right?  I ask you to consider the possibility Arte isn’t the problem.  But everyone is frustrated and is easier to hop on the bandwagon.  I think outside the box and has a very good career identifying and fixing organizational problems others couldn’t.  But we’re all entitled to our opinions.

i've come around to this guy. i love him now. he's an outside the box thinker; he does things others can't.
